"But after a while, figuring out who's exaggerating and who's most likely to exaggerate becomes clear if you pay attention." That's easier said than done, Kate knows. It requires a little bit of trust on both parties' efforts--one to trust the other is telling the truth and one to trust that the other won't run and blab about who told them the truth.

"I'm sure people are interested in the facts, but in a place like this..." Kate glances around before looking back at Hermione with an expression that clearly reads 'Most facts are filtered out by who knows what.' Hopefully Hermione is sharp enough to catch it.
